To better inform students about what is expected when requesting a Handshake account we will be allowing career services users to add a message to the student registration page. We will be releasing this on February 15th, 2018.

To add a User request custom message and link:

Go to your school settings details page

Add a User request custom message, make sure to include details about what is expected of students and alumni when registering for an account!

Add a User request custom link to direct students to an external site that they need to visit before being approved in Handshake

Add a User request custom link label to identify this link for students

Add a User request additional info label to let students know what additional information they need to include to be approved as a user in Handshake

Note: If you add a user request custom message it will appear where you see the Handshake standard message, "Your school may have already created an account for you, which is pre-filled and ready to go. This account will be registered under your school email address (your .edu email address). Please try logging in using your school email first."

Once you’ve confirmed your email address, you are registered as a student and may now log in to complete your Handshake profile! If you only see Fairs and your profile on the left hand navigation bar you will need to reach out to your career center to be linked to your school.
